The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

Standing there with a soft sword in hand, he deterred the villagers from making any move to approach. Their faces were filled with worry, and some were even muttering to themselves.

"River God, please forgive me! River God, please forgive me!"

"We're doomed, the river god's wrath is about to strike."

"The stability for this year is gone again!"

"Damn outsider!"

…………

Various voices came from the villagers: some were begging for forgiveness, some were frustrated by the harvest, some were fearful, and some were cursing Helian Yun Shen and Yue Yao.

After being partially pushed back by Lei Mengsha, the waves that had been churning up the river soon crashed towards them with even greater force.

Seeing this, Lei Mengsha brandished his Wufang Fist.

Once again, he unleashed a full-force attack on the wave. At the same time, Xiao Ruofeng also appeared, wielding his strongest martial art to attack the wave.

Helian Yun Shen, who was playing the Water Moon Mirror, looked at the situation with a serious expression, while constantly keeping an eye on the situation in the river and on the other side.

To find out what really happened, we have to expose the whole story.

With the combined efforts of Lei Mengsha and Xiao Ruofeng, the wave was pushed back using their strongest martial arts techniques, preventing it from continuing its trajectory towards the village.

Just as the river had returned to calm and the villagers thought the anger of the river god in their hearts had subsided, the high priest, who had just spoken, continued to entice them.

"This is just an opportunity given to us by the river god. As long as we continue the sacrifice we just performed, we can appease the river god. Otherwise, the river god's anger will be even more intense later!"

Don't anger the river god!

The river god is a deity, not someone we ordinary people can defeat.

His words, delivered with such fervor and passion, caused the already unsettled villagers to turn their attention back to the rescued girl.

The girl's parents held their daughter tightly in their arms.

"Spreading heresy! Take this!"

Yueyao listened to this guy still spouting such nonsense and spoke coldly. Then, she directly aimed her soft sword at the high priest. Seeing the soft sword flash with such cold light, the high priest was so frightened that his legs went weak.

"protect me!"

He shouted loudly at the villagers and strong men around him.

Seeing the sharpness of the soft sword and Yueyao's decisive attack, the villagers hesitated to go to the High Priest's aid. However, some bolder individuals, unafraid of Yueyao's attacks, stepped forward to protect their High Priest!

"Go away!"

With a few more palm strikes, she struck the men, causing them to cough up blood and collapse to the ground. Had Li Yueyao not stopped her attacks, she could have killed them outright.

The sight of the group made the already hesitant villagers even more reluctant to step forward, and they all retreated, watching Yueyao walk towards the high priest.

The high priest saw this and shouted loudly.

“I am the High Priest, I am the one who can communicate with the River God. I am the River God’s messenger. If I die, the River God will be even more furious, and then you will lose your communication with the River God!”

His loud shouts, hoping to garner help, only brought him despair. The villagers dared not approach; fear of others' power was an instinct in everyone's heart.

Given Yueyao's demonstrated strength, they dared not attempt to rescue the High Priest.

In his despair

Yueyao, wielding a soft sword, had already reached him. The sword was placed directly against his neck, and the cold touch made cold sweat drip down his forehead.

"what are you up to?"

His voice trembled as he questioned Yueyao.

Hearing his questioning, Yueyao sneered.

"It's very simple. Aren't you able to communicate with the river god? Make the so-called river god appear. I really want to see the true face of the river god."

"The river god is a god. How can we mortals like Montgomery simply say we can see him?"

The High Priest certainly wouldn't dare to act on Yueyao's idea, because doing so would expose his secret and reveal everything to these people.

They died even more tragically then!

"If you don't do it, this sword will take your life!"

A chilling threat of death was uttered by Yueyao, and the soft sword once again drew near the High Priest's neck.

Feeling the coldness of the soft sword, the high priest was torn and conflicted, wondering whether to speak up or not. What should he do?

On the other side

The moment the wave disappeared, several spiral-shaped water columns suddenly shot out from the river, attacking Lei Mengsha and Xiao Ruofeng.

Lei Mengsha and Xiao Ruofeng unleashed their martial arts techniques, wielding their fists to neutralize the incoming water column.

In the dark

Helian Yun Shen had been observing the situation on the other side of the river, and his efforts finally paid off.

'As expected, someone was just playing tricks!'

Having said this in his heart, he began to play his jade flute.

Lei Mengsha and Xiao Ruofeng, having repelled the water column, used their footwork to leap across the river and use their lightness skills to head towards the opposite bank. The people on the other side watched as the two attacked.

Instead of running away, he smiled.

"Trying to cross the river and attack me? Don't even think about it!"

He spoke these words coldly and arrogantly.

Then they saw water columns reappear in the river, attacking the two of them from below.

Upon seeing this, the two dodged the attack.

The moment they dodged, the water beneath their feet seemed to possess a terrifying suction force, pulling them directly into the water.

"No matter how powerful you are, I can drown you with this martial art I have mastered."

As they watched their success unfold, their arrogance became even more pronounced. Meanwhile, the High Priest, seeing the two being pulled into the water, seemed to see them as saviors, shouting at the top of his lungs to the villagers.

"See? This is the river god's wrath! This is the river god's wrath! The river god has been angered, and everyone who comes to the river will be devoured by him!"

Such words and the scene that had just unfolded were indeed unsettling, but Yueyao's soft sword showed no sign of leaving her hand.

I have no worries about that kind of thing.

"Your companions have all been devoured by the river god, and you're not even a little sad?"

"It's been swallowed up? Take another look!"

Yueyao smiled as she answered the high priest when asked this question.

Hearing Yueyao's words, the high priest looked at the river and stared wide-eyed at what he saw.

The two people who had just been swallowed by the river were completely unharmed and continued to rush towards the other side, their clothes not even getting wet.

"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"

Words of disbelief roared from his mouth, as did the charlatan on the other side of the river.
